Knicks Pull Off Greatest Comeback in NBA Finals History, Stun Spurs 107-106 in Game 4

The New York Knicks delivered one of the most dramatic wins in NBA Finals history Wednesday night, storming back from a 29-point deficit to defeat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 at Madison Square Garden.

With the win, New York took a commanding 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals and moved within one victory of its first championship since 1973.

The game appeared to be slipping away early. San Antonio dominated the first half behind sharp perimeter shooting, quick ball movement and the interior presence of Victor Wembanyama. The Spurs led 76-49 at halftime and looked ready to even the series.

Then the Knicks changed everything.

Jalen Brunson led New York’s second-half charge with relentless shot-making and control under pressure. OG Anunoby delivered the defining moment, tipping in Brunson’s missed three-pointer with 1.2 seconds remaining to give the Knicks a 107-106 lead. New York then held on for the final stop, sending Madison Square Garden into chaos.

Anunoby finished with 33 points and hit seven three-pointers, while Brunson added 36 points and seven assists. Their combined production gave the Knicks the scoring punch they needed, but the comeback was also built on defense. After allowing 76 points before halftime, New York held San Antonio to only 30 points in the second half.

For the Spurs, the loss was crushing. Wembanyama had 24 points and 13 rebounds, but San Antonio’s offense stalled late. Missed free throws, rushed decisions and late-game execution mistakes opened the door for New York’s historic rally.

The previous largest comeback in NBA Finals history was 24 points. The Knicks surpassed that mark on the sport’s biggest stage, turning what looked like a blowout loss into a franchise-defining victory.

Now the series shifts to San Antonio for Game 5, where the Knicks will have a chance to close out the Finals. The Spurs, meanwhile, must recover from one of the most painful collapses in NBA postseason history.

For New York, this was more than a comeback. It was a championship-level statement.
